A thrilling, rock-n-roll head-banger of a debut, steeped in '80s music culture nostalgia and international suspense. As intensely gripping as it is raucously funny!

It's Los Angeles, 1986, and metal rules the world. When aspiring drummer Rikki Thunder gets a shot to join L.A.'s hottest new band, Whyte Python, he soon has a hit single scorching up the charts, and the life he always dreamed of.

But good fortune can be deceiving. With the Cold War breathing its last gasps and American music blasting through the Iron Curtain, a revolution is taking hold. Rikki soon realizes there is a deeper web of influence propelling Whyte Python, and his missionβ€”to spread peace, love, and epic shredding across the globeβ€”are far more dangerous than he could ever imagine...
